    Because even flying internally is a risk. All it takes is airport staff knowing you aren't from the US and it can cause problems. No valid visa, as K1 expires upon entry, not filed AOS yet not yet married. You're undocumented at that point and jetting around internally could be seen as attempting to abscond. If it's not necessary to travel, then why not just play it safe?

    If you're so indifferent to going to Poland to wait out a CR1 or even another K1, why not do that anyway? I don't understand why you would waste so much time and money to go through K1 to only take a huge risk at invalidating it all. Do you not value you and your partners time and money?

    Why do you think he would be denied a B? ESTA isn't guaranteed entry. They can still deny based on immigrant intent, which is true of a K1. The main thing is showing plenty of evidence that he will return to wait out the process. Does he have a job? Rent? Mortgage? Any other responsibilities in Italy(?)?

    Did your wife recieve a sealed packet that she handed over to CBP upon entry? That contains the original DS3025. I'm assuming so, as it's the norm, but sometimes people miss this part. If yes to the above, she should try and get a copy of it from the medical examiner she saw to include in her AOS. But if she can't, it should be OK as USCIS should have recieved the original in the packet handed over to CBP. If she did not recieve a sealed packet, then you may have to redo the medical.

    Yeah, and attending a conference implies a steady career and/or professional education in OP's home country. Would be a lot to give up on a whim, considering they've been married and eligible to apply for spousal for some months...

    Then what changed between you filing for your B visa and now? If you were already married, and knew you wanted to move to the US, why didn't you file for spousal in April? Or you had no desire to be in the US until visiting?

    They always give a reason. Were your in-laws handed a letter? If there salary isn't high, how did they say the trip was going to be funded? And how long was the trip going to be for? You've missed out quite important details here.

    Thanks for that, it's helpful to me while I still wait for an update on my AOS after doing my biometrics back in May. Yeah, you can upload Unsolicited Evidence online, but I don't recall it saying that anywhere on any letters. I think I just came across it while clicking around in my USCIS account. Although I've not uploaded anything for a while, because I am just thinking I can take it all to interview anyway? Swings and roundabouts, I guess. Maybe it had more use during Covid when they were waiving interviews, providing there was substantial evidence? Anyway, congrats to you and your family. I hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly!

    Unlikely you will get the expedite, but it is free to try. If you are really in danger, you should seek asylum in the EU while your K1 processes. You will be waiting a while, expedite or not.

    Can I ask what evidence you submitted in both your original filing and what further evidence you took with you?
  22. smilingstone
    No, because they're no longer issued...
  23. smilingstone
    K3s are no longer issued.

    K1 requires 100%. AOS after marriage requires 125%. So many advise that you just evidence meeting 125% right from the start, as if you don't you will need to evidence a further 25% increase of petitioner income between K1 approval and AOS (which may not be a particularly long time, for me it was only 5 months).
  25. smilingstone
    No, they don't deny because someone wants to see their partner. They deny if they suspect immigrant intent or misrepresentation.

    That is hilarious because ATL is the BUSIEST airport in the US. The majority of international flights into the US land at ATL. To say that landing in ATL would be suspicious because it's not a big tourist destination just shows that this agency knows nothing. Have they never heard of connecting flights? And their response to you is basically, well she can lie now and if she's approved then she can just do something different to what her DS-160 says. They are also advising you to advise your "friend" to lie to CBP. This is a real slippery slope...
